History WMG / DGrayman

Let’s put it like this: you do something long enough, you can end up forgetting your [[MotiveDecay reason for doing it in the first place]]. Think about, the Earl’s apparently been in this whole making Akuma business for several millennia, who’s to say that he didn’t have a different purpose for creating Akuma and just lost sight of it over the years? The theory comes from how the Earl’s essentially {{Satan}} in the DGrayMan universe and in the Hebrew Bible Satan was “[[SatanIsGood The Prosecutor]],” who had the job of tempting humans and reporting back to God about any who gave in. Now, what does the Earl do but tempt humans to break the cycle of life itself and try to bring back the dead? The Earl himself says early on in the series that he makes Akuma for the peoples own sake.

*** Forget to mention this, but even Krory's Innocence has presented Heart-like abilities after being around Lavi, though it hasn't been mentioned in canon. In the Ark, his Innocence-filled blood left his body, gained a consciousness and physical form of its own, and fought Jasdero without its Accomodator.

He faked his own death and left the order so that he wouldn't have to watch Allen lose all sense of self when he becomes the 14th.* Maria finally came after him like Sadako from "The Ring."* The telekinetic Noah tried to assassinate him, but didn't quite kill him despite a lot of blood. Cross used Grave of Maria to turn himself invisible and escape when no one was looking. He is now lurking in the background planning... something.* He wasn't wearing his mask when he was shot. The blood is either someone else's, or it's his, taken over a long period of time (a la ''Comicbook/{{Fables}}'') and somehow preserved. * He can take his mask off and make it into a clone of himself-- the mask is dead for the time being, but he isn't. It would also explain why he hasn't showed up; he's planning in the background while he waits for his mask to regenerate.* Even though Mr. Inspector Hitler Moustache stated that Cross's disappearance was the work of Central...hrm...

1. It's mentioned by Sherril that Bookman lost an apprentice before while he's threatening to kill Lavi. 2. The Allen we've seen glipses of 35 years ago was involved with the war even without having an innocence (since Neah is suprised ad disgusted to find he has one now). 3. Bookman was also involved with the war 35 years ago, but not necessarily on the orders side. 4. Since Bookmen are supposed to be neutral it would make sense for them to semi-ally themselves to the "third side" of the war (with Neah). So Allen was Bookman's apprentice, they allied themselves with Neah in order to record the war from the most neutral perspective possible, Allen was like Lavi and got attached, offered up his body, lost his memory, somehow got an innocence that de-aged him or something (innocence can do a lot of weird shit).

[[WMG: Mana and the Earl]][[spoiler: It's now been revealed that the Earl is Mana. So I propose that 35 years ago the Earl part of Mana and the Mana part of Mana "fought" and Mana won eventually. But then when Mana "died" the Earl took control and when Allen tried to bring Mana back he made it worse by removing the Mana part leaving only the Earl.]]

There's a bunch of evidence for this theory, first being that Timcanpy is a magical gollum, just like the Mokonas from {{xxxHoLic}} and {{Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle}}, even with the same ability to eat things for storage. Next, the school that the kids in [[{{xxxHoLic}} HoLic]] go to is named Cross Academy, an obvious shout-out to Clow's other world counter part. Both are magicians with long hair and the ability to manipulate life and death to an extent, (Clow with [[spoiler:[[{{xxxHoLic}} Yuuko]]]] and Cross with Maria) and they both have beautiful long hair. This also plays into the fact that...
